I haven’t given as much in-depth thought to parenting styles as Molly has. But ater reading Gentle Parenting: A Tale of Three Markers, I could definitely tell you in which direction I tend to falter. I try to maintain my patience, though, and I think I might need to tattoo this entire post on my forearm for the days when it’s tough. That would be a whole lot of ink. Maybe I’ll just keep it bookmarked. (Thanks for the link, Jeni.)

And the rest of our lives would ‘a fared well.
